Immobilization of ?-glucosidase with Nano SiO_2 and Its Application in Soybean Isoflavone Hydrolysis in Two-phase-system / 中国生物工程杂志

Nano materials are popular with its interesting properties. Large specific surface area, high mechanical strength, good absorbability make them good potencial carriers of catalyst. With the help of chemical modification, nano SiO2 particals were used as carrier to immobilize ?-glucosidase with covalent binding. It is found that the load of nano particals can reach 1/8 of its weight, and the recovered activity of enzyme is 70%. The resistence of immobilized enzyme to organic solvent wase improved obviously, which was then used in Ethyl Acetate-Water-two-phase-system to hydrolyzed soybean isoflavones.
